   Question, please: Woodie, do you know yet if the Update Rollup for ActiveX Kill Bits (KB960715) is incorporated in Service Pack 2 for Vista? Will running SP2 for Vista thus have the same effect as applying 960715?

   I still would hate to sacrifice Enveloper in WOPR 2003 for Vista SP2 . . .

   Thanks infinitely for sharing your knowledge!

   You state”KB960803 is MS09-013, part of the massive Internet Explorer patch. Same comment, especially if you use Firefox.”

   Do you really mean KB963027 as the IE & & Cum. Update for IE7.

   Thanks

   Do I have to go to Internet Explorer 8? It’s asking, along with the patches. I use Firefox.

   I too am a great follower of your advice on Microsoft Security Updates/Patches and am wondering what the current status is as to “Where are we on the patches” since your last advise on April 30, 2009? Would appreciate your recommendations as you have always been a life safer from the MS potential headaches.

   At this point, I suggest that you hold off on applying any outstanding patches. I intend to look at the general state of affairs this weekend. Right now, there’s nothing pressing.
